Happy Holidays, Dodger Fans

dodgersornament

Happy holidays, friends, regardless of what holiday it is you choose to celebrate. Personally, I’m partial to Festivus & Ludacrismas myself. I think the Dodgers have given us more than we could have asked for over the last calendar year, but is it really gluttonous to ask for an righty outfielder who can bash lefty pitching? It is? Oh well. Enjoy anyway.

Dodgers to have gray batting practice caps with blue bills in 2013, per @UniWatch http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=playbookfandom&id=16228 …

@Gilbert_Vengeance Holy shit that Barves hat. Can't believe that is a thing that can still happen.

So will we see an All-Star game at Dodger Stadium again? I see they go for new stadiums but shouldnt historic stadiums get a go as well? Citi Field this year and Target Field in 14'. Dodger Stadium last hosted in 1980 with teams like the Angels, Giants, Indians, White Sox, Pirates, and Twins with a few more hosting the event twice since then (albeit most of those teams getting new ballparks.) I wasnt born in 1980 yet so would like to see an All-Star game in LA.

 @Gilbert_Vengeance yeah, missed the cutoff to see an ASG @ DS, too.  It's a travesty.  But hopefully now that the ownership group is putting 100M into the stadium, it will be in play for a game.  However, I think we're gonna be "on double secret probation" for a while cuz of the beatings.  :(

 @Gilbert_Vengeance I hear yah.  It's such a mindfuck.  The stadium is sooo damned gorgeous.  i don't understand the infatuation with these shiny new toy stadiums forced onto crap sites.

 @HarryDoyle New ownership making improvements to the stadium could however be showcased by the MLB if they awarded us ASG. Could be what our little stadium needs to get back on the map as a desirable stadium to go to by non-Dodger fans.

Hey, Jonathan Garcia exists. If he didn't slump so hard this year, we would be pitching him instead of Joc in all our unrealistic trades. Buuuuut, he may not make the bigs as a Dodger though. Oh well.

Are Yaff bars a troll ad?  The only energy bar you can share with your dog is a selling point?

 @VietnamDodger   As much as Mike is down on Cruz, I even think he'd prefer him to the "power trio" of Wigginton, Inge, and Rolen.

 @VietnamDodger Let's get Matt Treanor to start over AJ Ellis, because, you know, he wasn't on the team last year serving as a clearly inferior player in the appropriate bench role or anything.

@The_Real_Paul @VietnamDodger How bout a Twinkie instead? There's a big fat albatross contract with nice hair to pair alongside Dre's nice hair.

 @VietnamDodger I'm pretty sure the author is saying that because AJ Ellis isn't Buster Posey, Matt Treanor would be a superior option while highly touted prospect Tim Federovicz develops.

Not sure i disagree that a nice vet backup to AJ is a bad thing... TFed as backup could explode in the face. The Cruz bashing is waaaaay funnier

@IBBFTW Why did I think the site was still down? Think the last I heard from Mike he was tweeting about his 10-hour trip from FLA.
